Personal Practice Day 6

Not only did I attend TWO yoga classes today, but I also attended two belly dance workshops this afternoon.

The morning started with a free hatha flow class at Lululemon (http://www.lululemon.com/) by Tynelle (sp?) at 8:30 AM. She helped us create some heat with Virabhadrasana I, Trikonasana, and Parsvotanasana, side angle, and also Vasisthasana. My quads were burning, but it felt great! She lead us in some hip openers at the beginning of class.

At 10:30, I went with my pregnant friend Michelle to a prenatal yoga class. It was my second time to a prenatal class, but my first time to take with Alice. Alice began the class with some seated hip openers, circling your torso around at big circle as you are seated in comfy seat. Then, cakravakasana, child's pose, balancing table, gomukasana, adho mukha svanasana, prasarita padottansana (with block), Virabhadrasana II, Vrkasana. Then we did a partner segment using straps in Adho Mukha Svanasana. With the strap along the hip bone, the partner holds the straps and pulls while the person doing the pose can really feel the extension. Then ending with Supta Bandakonasana and Jathara Parivrtti.

Then in the bellydance workshops, we did some yoga including cobra, pigeon, mandukasana. (hip openers!)

Today was full of yoga!
